There are so many driver aids in vehicles these days with some of them overriding the driver, some cars have even got AI now. I am waiting for the day when you climb into your car and it asks you “Where do you want to go?” and you tell it that you want to visit Scarborough with the wife and kids or just go for a drive, and it replies…“That’s not a valid reason for a journey and to waste energy, so request denied”…

Seri will already say, “I’m sorry but I don’t know how to reply to your request for directions too!”
I wanted directions to a Solar Farm a couple of miles away that I couldn’t spot and it had sent me to Baltimore and Wyoming. A gas station attendant told me Trees were blocking a view from the highway, and I needed to turn right and pass over bridge to see it. The Farm had been in service for 3 years and I just wanted a look. Made no sense to have trees growing around it on the south and east sides.

Yesterday you turned right when I said turn left, I’m going nowhere until you apologise.

If I had turned left, I would have driven into the center of our university in a couple of miles.
Most likely a professor could have helped me too.
That’s brilliant @Bruce and just what I mean. What movie was it from?
I saw a similar thing on a movie called ‘Dark Star’ where a bomb (designed for destroying planets) had not released and become stuck in the bomb bay doors, the computer was sure that it had been released and had started the countdown.
There followed a long argument with the computer to stop the countdown but the computer was adamant that the bomb had been sent to it’s destination.
Don’t you get sick of people talking in your face telling you that their product is better than the others, or their political party is any better than the others?
Or thinking that they know everything about vaccines and climate when they just repeat stuff they saw on the news?
What happened to thinking for themselves and posting from the heart and head (personal experiences) and not repeating some useless rhetoric by a supposed scientist… 
They should be telling us how bad their product is, then we might buy it, as a sign of respect for their honesty. Everyone’s saying it’s bad anyway, but we knew that first, before they failed to tell us.

Never seen it Bruce, not a big fan of Bowie but it’s a classic and I really should watch it.
Just watched Simon Reeve in Russia, most average people speak well of Putin.
To be honest, there are places in Russia that I would feel safer in than Doncaster.
I’ve decided that the internet is largely bad for society, too many influences.
It’s turning out to be a direct link from the establishment into everyone’s home and head.
Bowie?

That goes to show you how much I know Bruce. I thought Bowie did the music with his major Tom stuff…
I was wrong…
I always associated Bowie with the film, I don’t know why… 
I saw that film, it’s a classic. I like Sci-Fi films.

Why Do Prescription Drug Commercials List So Many Side Effects?
One thought is that none of us process stuff the same way. It becomes an average of good vs. Bad outcomes.
